Best bars with fireplaces

Fritz  |  Updated 10/30/2009

When it's cold outside, these bars allow you to warm up with a drink in hand.

 

Birreria Paradiso

Washington, DC

The handful of seats in front of the basement bar's gas fireplace can be hard to come by, but are worth the wait, especially with a draft microbrew in hand.

 

Circle Bistro

Washington, DC

A warm color scheme in the snappy modern lounge goes well with the open gas fireplace. Visit during happy hour, which means half-price beer, wine and cocktails between 4:30 to 7:30 on weeknights.

 

McGinty's Public House

Silver Spring, MD

Silver Spring's Irish pub has a gas fireplace on its first floor, alongside a large bar and a pair of dart lanes. Grab a pint of Guinness and settle in.

 

Old Brogue Irish Pub

Great Falls, VA

One of the friendliest neighborhood Irish pubs around, the Old Brogue's "Snuggery" room boasts a log-burning fireplace. It's also far enough from the bar that conversation is easy. (Ironically, this is the only non-smoking part of the pub.)

 

Royal Mile Pub

Wheaton, MD

Grab a warming glass of Scotch -- Royal Mile has one of the area's largest selections of single malts -- and settle in beside the large fireplace to listen to live music.

 

Sonoma

Washington, DC

The wine bar's airy upstairs lounge has tall ceilings, comfy couches and a roaring gas fireplace. Arrive early to snag one of the seats overlooking Pennsylvania Avenue.

 

Tabard Inn

Washington, DC

On a winter evening, nothing in Washington can match the crackling fireplace and comfortable sofas in the Tabard's cozy lounge. The cocktails are great, and Sunday nights feature live jazz.
